Supreme court is going to rule on affirmative action later this year.

And DEI will step in and take its place. If you think preferential treatment is going away anytime soon in universities, colleges and workplaces, it is not.

Edward Blum is not Asian American, you dumbass.

I wonder how Edward Blum will feel about his little crusade when every Ivy league school is 60% Asian American though

Mr. Blum is not a lawyer. But he is a one-man legal factory with a growing record of finding plaintiffs who match his causes, winning big victories and trying above all to erase racial preferences from American life.

Mr. Blum, 65, has orchestrated more than two dozen lawsuits challenging affirmative action practices and voting rights laws across the country. He is behind two of the biggest such cases to reach the Supreme Court: one attacking consideration of race in admissions at the University of Texas, which he lost; the other contesting parts of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, widely considered one of this country’s most important pieces of civil rights legislation, which he won.

https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/30/politics/scotus-affirmative-action-college-admissions-edward-blum/index.html

Blum had previously enlisted White students to sue over race-based admissions at the University of Texas – and lost. He added a new dimension to the Harvard case, claiming that high-achieving Asian American applicants were unlawfully disadvantaged by screening policies that favored traditionally underrepresented Blacks and Hispanics.

A former stockbroker who never went to law school, Blum, now 70, has a talent for fashioning cases that appeal to the increasingly conservative high court. Using many of the same lawyers over the years, he engineered a series of lawsuits against the 1965 Voting Rights Act culminating in Shelby County v. Holder, the 2013 decision that curtailed the reach of the Voting Rights Act over designated states with a history of discrimination.

I know some angry activists want to blame the resistance to racial based admissions to white supremacists, but Asians are also firmly opposed to it, especially on this scale as is evident at Harvard where the barrier for Asian heritage students is much higher. If you live and work among Asian Americans, it's a major complaint during college admissions, as well as the concerns over getting rid of magnet programs and tracks for high performing students in the name of equity.

Your attitude is the more racist because you refuse to acknowledge people of different races are capable of having their own experiences and views and can only be manipulated by cackling evil white supremacists.

As an Asian American we’re not so stupid to think that once you take care of this that the next step isn’t to turn on us. We notice that in the crusade for admissions on academic merit that this group is conspicuously silent on athletic recruiting and legacy, both of which overwhelmingly favor white applicants. And we hear the constant perjoative labels of robots and strivers thrown our way.

Athletic recruiting is so teams are viable. It favors people who are good at sports.

Legacy is next generation so if admits evolve so will legacy -- if it stays.

Thereby proving the point that whites will defend anything that benefits them. There is ALWAYS an excuse.

Yes. It's ridiculous.

Country club sport rosters just so happen to be filled with white kids from private schools & rich enclaves.

There is always a step 2. Once the Supreme Court decides then it’s back to holistic admissions and how it can’t just be on test scores and GPA.

Athletics are part of American universities and have been for over 100 years. If you don't like that, you can send your kid to a school without sports or to a university in a country that doesn't have intercollegiate athletics.

Geographic and SES diversity will replace racial. There are plenty of legal way for schools to get the classes they want

Elite schools don’t care about test scores, they care about leadership qualities, grit & sociability. Part-time jobs in high school are important, too.

You haven't seen this??

In a sense, yes. If you're asking schools that have been around for over 300 years which grew up in one specific cultural and historical context to now remake their systems so that they more closely resemble the admissions procedures in Chinese universities, etc. then you're asking too much. And you're not entitled to ask for it just because it's what you want.

I'm not Chinese, don't know much about Chinese universities, and have never been to China.
In fact, I don't like the Chinese Communist Party, but are you saying Chinese universities have clear transparent rules, no discrimination, and fair competition?
Then yes we should follow the good example, and I don't think it's asking too much and I'm entitled to ask for it as I'm a tax paying US citizen.

And what 300 years??  Didn't they invent the bogus 'holistic' bullshit in the 1920s to discriminate Jews?  
Stanford recently apologized.  
Then they invented ED and all sorts of tactics to manipulate admissions in the 1950s. 
You are a clueless and/or shameless American(I presume).

This.

Blum definitely decided that focusing on Asian vs White was a winning approach. But Asians are diverse and have a wide variety of opinions. To say that the Asian students who worked with him were "used" is condescending. (I say that as a White person who disagrees with Blum and those who support him, whatever their race.)

And the pathetic defense continues. Now it’s because it’s been happening for 100 years - although athletic recruiting hasn’t. Nor have women in sports. Can we eliminate all of that?
